Capo: 2

Artist: Tim Buckley Song: Song to the siren Album: The dream belongs to me Tabbed by: DJ 8th Oct 2014 CAPO: 2nd fret (Sounds in key of E) De-tune a bit to match, the album track is slightly flat of concert pitch. N.B. On The Monkees TV live version, he is in proper concert pitch, but he's tuned down a semi -tone on his 12 string. He plays the chords as below, but he has his capo at the 3rd fret, so it sounds in E. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2NkUmIH83U To achieve the same key there is no need to de-tune, just have your capo at the 2nd fret instead. D4 = xx0233 Cadd9#11 = x30032 A = x02220 D = xx0232 G/B = x20033 G = 320033 Csus2 = x30033 Gmaj7/B = x20032 Bm = x24432 The later version on the 'Starsailor' album sounds in Bb, probably played in G with capo at 3rd fret, and the recording doesn't sound quite up to concert pitch. Also on this album, the third verse line is- 'I am puzzled as the newborn child, I am as riddled as the tide' apparently some people laughed when he sang the oyster line, so he changed it. * [Verse 1]
